memorial day

Hi I haven't blogged in a while.  My family had fun in Logan on Memorial Day.  We went to Logan and then to a park for lunch.  Later we had everyone come to our house for a cookout.  It was lots of fun.  Grant and Avery came it was fun.

Update to my life..........

I finished my masters degree. I am so excited. Jan and Spencer got married on March 4, 2011 in the Salt Lake Temple. It was very neat. Also that day I tripped over Jan's train to her dress and broke my hand. I have a pretty purple cast. I went all day with it broken and finally went to the emergency room at 12:00 that night. I didn't wanbt to take attention away from them. Spencer is a good addition to our family. They met on their missions. Cute huh! Mike and Kira are cute parents. Avery and Grant are lucky to have them. They get to be sealed as a family on April 10th. I am so excited for them. Mom is still cancer free. I love teaching, writiing on the board at school is interesting but fun with my broken hand. I feel so blessed to be apart of my family.

Avery

Michael and Kira adopted Avery. She is the cutest little girl. Grant is a good, big brother. I am so happy they get to have her.

Waiting Forever

We have been waiting all day for Mike and Kira's baby. Mom and Dean get to go take care of Grant tomorrow. They are so lucky. I bet Grant has no idea what is going on. I hope Mike and Kira are doing okay. I can't wait to see their baby girl. So exciting!

Disneyland Tomorrow

Wel it is here, the night before we go on our trip to Disneyland. I am so excited. Mom, Dean, Me, and Jan are going. This will be my first time going. I can't believe it is true. It is going to be so much fun. We are planning on going to Knott's Berry Farm as well. It is going to be so much fun, I can't wait. I have waited 28 years to finally go there. I will share what happened later until then, I will be in the happiest place on Earth. DISNEYLAND!

It nis exciting to start a new year with new challenges. "Teachers touch a child's life forever. "--Unknown I love that quote. Hopefully I will be able to do this. :)

Fireworks at Weber State

We had lots of fun at the fireworks. Me, Scott, Kira and Mike, Brian and Heidi, Dean, Mom. Tammy & Greg, Bryce, Trevor, Alison, Nathan, and Mallory. Jeremie & Cristy, Dillon, Kaylee, and Cole. We all got to talk to Jan on a tape. It was lots of fun. Mallory had fun feeding sour patch kids to me, mom, and Dean. She laughed trying to give them to us. Kaylee and Alison went under the blanket so pine needles wouldn't get them. Heidi and Brain, Kira and Michael, and Scott, played Clue with Dillon, Trevor and Bryce helping them. I think everyone had a good time together. The fireworks were lots of fun. They did quite a lot of them. This is a fun family tradition we have.
